He Zizhen and several other women gave birth along the way, only to be forced to leave their babies behind; Kang Keqing endured the same hardships as the men, shouldered arms and fought alongside her male comrades; Wang Quanyuan fell foul of party politics and was eventually captured by enemy Moslem cavalry. Drawing on published and unpublished sources, including interviews, this is the moving story of one of the great events of 20th century history." Publisher's description.
